Thompson and Morgan Phoenix Palm Evergreen Plant Pot 1.5L

Known as the Canary Date Palm, this striking plant will bring architecture to your conservatory or patio. The magnificent, stiff leaves arch elegantly from a short trunk. Phoenix canariensis requires frost-free conditions all year round, making it ideal for growing as an evergreen specimen plant in a heated conservatory. It is well suited to growing in containers; in winter move to a warm greenhouse. The Phoenix Palm is undeniably impressive and holds a prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit. Height: 1.5m when restricted in containers. If grown naturally in glasshouse borders this palm however can reach up to 5m tall with a canopy of 3m which will look truly amazing. Grow in containers or sheltered borders in fertile, moist, well-drained soil in semi-shade. If growing in patio containers or pots use loam-based compost such as John Innes No.2 or 3. Choose a container only slightly bigger than the nursery pot supplied. Repot container-grown plants into increasingly larger pots as they increase in size. Feed and water regularly during establishment. In winter, move container-grown plants to a frost-free position and keep the compost on the dry side. In mild areas, plants may be overwintered outdoors if grown in sheltered borders and offered some winter protection with horticultural fleece. Palms need little pruning, in spring remove dead or damaged foliage from lower down on the trunk. Wear gloves when pruning for protection. Caution: Foliage may be irritant to the skin. Height if unrestricted: Up to 5m Spread if unrestricted: Up to 3m Position: Full Sun Supplied in a 1.5-litre nursery pot Images shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
